Correct but also (some), of them are not working and claiming benefits,although they can claim substantial allowances, these do not affect their benefit payments.
Allowances for having a room turned into an office costing thousands of pounds of tax payers money, (my b----y) money does not go down very well.
I have heard from an ex councillor that today's councillor's can now claim up to £30,000 a year without it effecting their benefit payments, (if) this is correct then it is a scandal, (that is putting it more politely than I would have said had I not been on so called social media).
